Yes, according to
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/utilities/qsub.html
I presume.
I just downloaded SGE and checked the qsub man page - command line
arguments are passed to the script.
Surely this would be fairly straightforward to provide? Take a copy the
remaining contents of argv and pass when the script is run? A clunky
option would be for qsub to put the args in a specially-names environment
variable for the purposes of pbs_server. The pbs_mom would know how to
process this specially named env variable.
As current qsub wont accept any parameters after the job file anyway this
is a backwardly compatable change. It has the added bonus of minimising
any user noticable incompatabilities between SGE and Torque.
